Sylvia Brown – Author of Grappling with Legacy
Sylvia Brown is the oldest child of the 11th generation of the Brown family of Rhode Island. Her ancestors founded Brown University, and she was confronted at a meeting about some of the less than desirable parts of her family history. It started a deep dive into the family history, aided by a treasure trove of 200 year old documents. Following undergrad and graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, she pursued a professional career in international development, from Wall Street to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Sylvia is now a director of the Social Enterprise Greenhouse. She recently launched Uplifting Journeys, offering immersive donor education in charitable donations in locations around the world.
